Huge game! I know that I heard the Auburn fans doing the tomahawk chant. What's up with that? Is it a WDE thing? TV didn't show the chop, if there was one.

GO

AP Top 25:
Virginia (6-2) > 25 @BYU (6-2). Knock them out of the rankings. Nope, but 49-66.

Losers: #s 6, 9, 10, 12, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22
Should see several nonranked teams move up.

Non AP Top 25:

Easy to see why Tennessee was so upset with ol' miss for flopping. Time outs, shime outs, who needs 'em, we got da flops and the stay downs till coach says get up.
Corral sure sold Brad and Sean on his severely badly maybe season ending devastating ankle injury while they were warming up the backup, even after he was bouncing on the sidelines and back in the game running they kept on with the - oh what a warrior, Heisman for sure if he had a better team around him, blah, blah, blah

I hope Auburn never hires kiffin. I might even start pulling for bammer. Nah, maybe NC.

"again"? I admit that it's odd. I even wondered if it was network bleed over from some other broadcast.

No.

It's Houston vs ATL in the WS. So, no surprise that more Auburn fans support ATL.

It's the racist tomahawk chop that sucks, including 45SHOLE and Melania joining in. We're discussing that at length in the Baseball thread.

I'll just say my piece here. End all use of tribe and ethnicity words for naming sports teams, but more generic words like braves, warriors, generals, rangers and knights are just words descriptive of a fighting force and thus no harm. FSU using Seminole is wrong and I think they originated the chop, but Braves fans have been using it for at least 25 years. So - iffy



College kids doing something iffy or dumb - 100%, I don't see the harm.

... "Braves" is kinda patronizing, but not the worst of names. My biggest issue in ATL and Tallahassee is with those "obnoxious fans chop." If it was just a few, no big deal, but I think tens of thousands chopping and chanting in oblivious unison sucks.

Aside: Big Horn Massacre would be a cool team name. Do you think some White folks would be offended?

[O Really]

The Fresno State Bulldogs, who messed up SDSU's perfect season, had a bunch of fans show up for the SDSU home game, if you can call a game at Carson (LA metro) to be "home". Apparently they barked - literally barked - throughout the whole game. At least the tomahawk chant is melodic.

Yeah, we've still got A&M and bammer.

I clicked back through the weeks today and we've already played 6 teams that were in the top 10 at leaat one week and 4 were in the top 6. And we still have A&M and bammer. Who knows what will happen.

PSC ranking

1. Georgia 8-0
2. Alabama 7-1
3. Michigan State 8-0
4. Oregon 7-1. Playoffs?
5. Ohio State 7-1
6. Cincinnati 8-0. Despite being AP #2 it probably won't make the playoff even if it wins out.
7. Michigan 7-1
8. Oklahoma 9-0. Gotta get in if it wins out, right? Oregon gets bumped?
9. Wake Forest 8-0. Higher than AP. Playoffs if it wins out? Could Alabama also get bumped? Maybe not with Clemson sucking so badly.
10. Notre Dame 7-1

13. Auburn 6-2. Highest ranked 2-loss team by PSC, AP and Coaches.

19. North Carolina State 6-2. Way higher than AP (unranked 27).

24. San Diego State 7-1. Congrats. Way higher than AP (unranked 32).
